Bournemouth Rotary Club to host unique Tea in a Tent event
THE Rotary Club of Bournemouth East Cliff is set to host a unique Tea in a Tent event.
This will be part of the Picnic in the Park at Queens Park on Sunday, June 15, from 2pm onwards.
The aim is to raise awareness for ShelterBox, an international disaster relief charity.
Visitors will be treated to complimentary pastries and iced tea, while learning about the charity's work in global disaster zones.
The centrepiece of the club's initiative is a ShelterBox family tent.
This will allow visitors to get a first-hand experience of the emergency aid provided to families displaced by weather disasters and humanitarian crises.

"Every cup of tea shared helps raise awareness for this vital humanitarian work."
ShelterBox provides emergency shelter and essential items to families who have lost their homes due to disaster and conflict.
It works with affected communities, volunteers and trusted partners to provide tailored aid packages, including tents, tarpaulins, tools, cooking sets, mosquito nets and water purification kits.
